Opportunities

This position supports the development of research instrumentation in nuclear, particle, and astrophysics, as well as general laboratory operations at the Yale Wright Laboratory. The candidate is expected to work as part of a team of scientists, technical staff, students, and postdocs on the design, development, and construction of research instrumentation. Part of the work will focus on the assembly of detector components for the Deep Underground Neutrino Observatory (DUNE). Yale Wright Laboratory is one of two US assembly sites for the DUNE charge readout planes.

Wright Lab research groups offer research and training opportunities for postdoctoral associates and fellows. To inquire about openings, please contact the faculty directly.

If you are a prospective student, please see our information for prospectives.

If you are a current student who is interested in working on a project, please feel free to contact the relevant faculty.

Announcements:

• The Karsten Heeger group is looking for graduate students to work on DUNE and Project 8.

The Yale/UCL Collaborative Student Exchange Programme gives UCL Doctoral Researchers an opportunity to undertake a period of research at Yale as part of their doctorate.

Postgraduate Associate positions are short term training positions for recent college graduates who seek research experience prior to graduate school.  We periodically have postgraduate opportunities available, however these positions are not funded, so you will need to identify your own funding.

If you are a prospective student, please see our information for prospectives.

Undergraduate research opportunities are available during both the academic year and the summer.  If you are interested in working on a project, please contact the relevant faculty member as soon as you are able, as positions fill up fast.

The Prototyping Manager engages with the Yale research community to support early‑stage development of advanced scientific instruments within the AIDC. This position focuses on translating conceptual ideas for novel scientific instruments into functional prototypes that support cutting‑edge research. The Prototyping Manager will work closely with students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty to help define requirements, explore design approaches, and rapidly iterate from concept to proof‑of‑principle hardware.

Note: This listing is for the AIDC, which has a close partnership with Wright Lab.
